What Is Reality?

I am composing this post to express and address my constant pondering with the question of what is reality (philosophically). Everyone is able to perceive reality through their personal notions, beliefs, and viewpoints. Reality is an entity that attests to the complex functions, pathways, and overall structure of the brain and mind. Reality from my perspective contains two constituents, philosophy and perception. These two entities combine to create the notion of reality and from my viewpoint can trick and/or confuse the thinker into mental and philosophical nothingness. It seems philosophically that reality is an entity that does not exist and is controlled by acumen or by an unknown scientific/philosophical/mental powerful force. The Holographic Principle is the best scientific response and/or entity for detailing the fundamental constructs of reality and its counterparts.
